Alright, so I buy Terraria after I see my brother playing it on his computer. Install it, try to play it, it installs the XNA Framework (again, like many other Steam games first time you load it)...and I get the "Terraria has stopped working" error box, and it does this every time I try to open it.

Before anyone asks anything, yes I've tried uninstalling the XNA Framework and reinstalling it. Nothing changed. Here's my error log in the event viewer (Note: I use a Windows Vista 32bit, planning to update within the year hopefully but will have to see):

Now one thing I do remember is that I got this error a couple times a week after Magicka came out (a week after because I was getting a different error that had to do with the audio first), but I didn't do anything and it was fixed in a patch. Is that what's going to have to happen here too? I'm willing to wait if that's the case, just would like a confirmation.

Oh, also, I don't know how to uninstall the .NET Framework 4, it says to do it in the Programs and Features in the Control Panel, but it's not there.

Reason: Clarified which Framework

I got that today installing Dwarfs!? on a different computer (Dwarfs!? was giving me the error). That forum pointed me to XNA 3.1, which I installed. Then I installed Terraria (and XNA 4.0 was part of that install) and both work.

I don't know if this helps. Probably confuses more than anything. But, installing the correct XNA did help with Dwarf!? with a similar problem.

There is a copy of the XNA 4.0 installer in the .../steam/steamapps/common/terraria/ folder.

I did say "I tried uninstalling the Framework and reinstalling it" and yes it is 4.0. So that's scratched off the list.

I could try that when I get a chance, I do remember having a version 3.? (? meaning I don't remember which point I had) installed as well, and was getting the error still, then read that having the older one can mess things up so I uninstalled it with no change.

In the main post you were talking about the .NET Framework. I am talking about the XNA Framework.

Anyway goodluck.

Sorry, the first one I talked about was the XNA Framework, since I could actually uninstall and reinstall that. At the end I mentioned the .NET Framework because I was unable to uninstall it, sorry for the confusion.
